Great action with depth - DirectorSoi CheangStarsTony JaaJing WuSimon YamWhile undercover officer Kit is taken prisoner by the syndicate, he befriends his keeper and discovers an organ trafficking ring.Great action film, the ending could have been better but still a good watch.
- DirectorBenny ChanStarsChing Wan LauEddie PengLouis KooA group of villagers must stand up to a warlord's psychopath son, who is protected by a Commander with proficient martial arts skills as well as a small army.A great number of action scenes and stellar acting from the main villian.
- DirectorRawson Marshall ThurberStarsDwayne JohnsonKevin HartDanielle NicoletAfter he reconnects with an awkward pal from high school through Facebook, a mild-mannered accountant is lured into the world of international espionage.Laughed my ass off, I really enjoyed this duo.
- DirectorJim StrouseStarsSam RockwellEmma RobertsRob CorddryA comedy centered on a has-been coach who is given a shot at redemption when he's asked to run his local high school's girls basketball team.Sam Rockwell is great in the film but the film isn't the greatest sports film. It is does however gives us insight in girl's basketball.
- DirectorDavid YatesStarsAlexander SkarsgårdRory J SaperChristian StevensTarzan, having acclimated to life in London, is called back to his former home in the jungle to investigate the activities at a mining encampment.Better than I thought it was going to be.
- DirectorConrad VernonGreg TiernanStarsSeth RogenKristen WiigJonah HillA sausage leads a group of supermarket products on a journey to discover the truth about their existence and what really happens when they are picked off the shelf.Seemed like it tried too hard to be vulgar and funny.
- DirectorSoi CheangStarsAaron KwokGong LiShaofeng FengWhen a travelling monk is stranded in a wasteland, The Monkey King must escort him across the land to retrieve sacred scriptures and protect him from an evil demon.It was okay, felt empty at some parts.I enjoyed the villianess more than anything else.
- DirectorTodd PhillipsStarsJonah HillMiles TellerSteve LantzLoosely based on the true story of two young men, David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, who won a three hundred million dollar contract from the Pentagon to arm America's allies in Afghanistan.Okay movie, Hill was great in the fillm and a decent supporting role for Bradley Cooper made the film good.

- DirectorDuncan JonesStarsTravis FimmelPaula PattonBen FosterAs an Orc horde invades the planet Azeroth using a magic portal, a few human heroes and dissenting Orcs must attempt to stop the true evil behind this war.Better than I thought. Not a WOW player, just wanted to watch the film. There were a lot of good suprises, the story could have been better but I would suggest this film to fans of lord of the rings style of movie.
- DirectorJames BobinStarsMia WasikowskaJohnny DeppHelena Bonham CarterAlice is appointed to save her beloved Mad Hatter from deadly grief by travelling back to the past, but this means fatally harming Time himself, the noble clockwork man with the device needed to save the Hatter's family from the Red Queen.Terrible film, from the story to the idiotic behavior of Time.
- DirectorYeon Sang-hoStarsGong YooJung Yu-miMa Dong-seokWhile a zombie virus breaks out in South Korea, passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan.One of the best zombie films I've ever seen. Had holes but still worth a watch. You may just realize what kind of human you should be.
- DirectorJared HessStarsZach GalifianakisOwen WilsonKristen WiigA guard at an armored car company in the Southern U.S. organizes one of the biggest bank heists in American history. Based on the October 1997 Loomis Fargo robbery.Had some moments of comedy but fell flat with me.
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsBenedict CumberbatchChiwetel EjioforRachel McAdamsWhile on a journey of physical and spiritual healing, a brilliant neurosurgeon is drawn into the world of the mystic arts.Felt like the film was rushed, it was not the best Marvel film. It was simply a re-make of Ironman in a way. Benedict did a great job but I felt like the elements he couldnt control could have been better.
- DirectorAntoine FuquaStarsJake GyllenhaalRachel McAdamsOona LaurenceAfter a fatal incident sends him on a rampant path of destruction, a champion boxer fights to get custody of his daughter and revive his professional career.Excellent sports film, everyone did a great job.

- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsMark RylanceRuby BarnhillPenelope WiltonAn orphan little girl befriends a benevolent giant who takes her to Giant Country, where they attempt to stop the man-eating giants that are invading the human world.Better than I thought it was going to be.

- DirectorJohnnie ToStarsWei ZhaoLouis KooWallace ChungShot and hospitalized, a cunning robber refuses surgery to avoid police custody.

- DirectorAndrew StantonAngus MacLaneStarsEllen DeGeneresAlbert BrooksEd O'NeillFriendly but forgetful blue tang Dory begins a search for her long-lost parents and everyone learns a few things about the real meaning of family along the way.It was okay, nothing special. It lacked the magic that Finding Nemo had.
- DirectorKim Seong-hunStarsHa Jung-wooBae DoonaOh Dal-suA man is on his way home when the poorly constructed tunnel he is driving through collapses, leaving him trapped.It was a nice film but there were a few holes. It made me want to prepare survival kits in my car.
- DirectorLee Hae-youngStarsJoo Bo-biPark Bo-youngKim Dong-hyeonA girl is transferred to a mysterious boarding school, where she is forced to discover its secrets to survive.Great film, went in a totally different way than I thought it would.

Upon discovery, the Chinese government immediately sends a band of elite narcotics officers led by Captain Gao Gang (Zhang Hanyu) to the Golden Triangle to uncover the truth behind the murders. Tea field owner and Golden Triangle-based intelligence officer Fang Xinwu (Eddie Peng) joins the investigation. After it is discovered that the drugs seized on the Chinese ships had been planted by the henchman of a notorious drug cartel leader named Naw Khar, the governments of Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and China launch a joint task force to apprehend the criminal.

The best thing was we got to see the main actress' breasts.
- DirectorRingo LamStarsDaniel WuRuoyun ZhangJingchu ZhangA security guard becomes embroiled in a battle to protect stem cell research, which can potentially cure cancer, from falling into the wrong hands.Towering inferno meets gangsters and big headed specialists.
- DirectorGarth JenningsChristophe LourdeletStarsMatthew McConaugheyReese WitherspoonSeth MacFarlaneIn a city of humanoid animals, a hustling theater impresario's attempt to save his theater with a singing competition becomes grander than he anticipates even as its finalists find that their lives will never be the same.Not bad, I enjoyed it but wish they chose different songs. I like the japanese animals and Seth McFarlane's role in tthe film. Also Matthew did a great job as the main character.
- DirectorGareth EdwardsStarsFelicity JonesDiego LunaAlan TudykIn a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon of destruction.Much better than Episode 7. This was darker and the lead was a better actress. My favorite part, however, is the apperance of Donnie Yen.
- DirectorTodor ChapkanovStarsScott AdkinsTeodora DuhovnikovaAlon AboutboulIn the fourth installment of the fighting franchise, Boyka is shooting for the big leagues when an accidental death in the ring makes him question everything he stands for.Action scenes were incredible.

This really kicked the creative juices in my mind.

The ROCK!!

- DirectorEli CraigStarsEvangeline LillyOwen AtlasAdam ScottGary, who has just married Samantha, the woman of his dreams, discovers that her six-year-old son may be the Antichrist.Clever film, it had some funny moments. They used the devil child story in a very creative way. Overall, I enjoyed myself. Nice to see Donald Faizon again.
- DirectorRichie SmythStarsJamie DornanEmmanuelle SeignerMark StrongIrish Commandant Pat Quinlan leads a stand off with troops against French and Belgian Mercenaries in the Congo during the early 1960s.Not bad, felt like they overused a certain cussword that never come out naturally.
- DirectorFabrice du WelzStarsChadwick BosemanLuke EvansAlfred MolinaJacob King, a mysterious outsider from South Africa, arrives in Los Angeles to look for his missing younger sister.Realistic action with a decent story. I fell in love with the cinematography and found many of the shots to be beautiful. The director managed to touch up on what L.A. and one reason why it is the way it is. It didn't glorify the city of angels which I appeciated. The lead was great as was the supporting actress. I love the surprise at the end of the film.
- DirectorTakashi MiikeStarsKoji YakushoTakayuki YamadaYûsuke IseyaA group of assassins come together for a suicide mission to kill an evil lord.Epic fighting and great cinematography.
- DirectorRoel ReinéStarsScott AdkinsRobert KnepperRhona MitraWes is slumming it in Bangkok 6 months after killing his best friend in a match in Vegas. He's tricked into Myanmar's jungle, where he's the fox in rich people's hunt.Terrible directing, the script was lacking. Some of the action scenes were lacking, I find it unbelievable that a character played by a 40 year old Rhona Mitra could block and take several punches from an MMA fighter played by a ripped Scott Adkins.
This was the first time I have seen Scott Adkins as a lead not playing as Boyka and I did enjoy his performance but this was far from his best work. Hard Target 2 is the perfect movie to skip on a good night. - DirectorMasahiko MurataStarsJunko TakeuchiChie NakamuraRikiya KoyamaNaruto Uzumaki is framed and sent to an inescapable prison where he must escape by any means necessary.It was okay, I found myself bored and annoyed at times
- DirectorMasahiko MurataStarsJunko TakeuchiChie NakamuraSatoshi HinoOur hero Naruto is caught in special chakra that propels him into the past. He finds himself in the City of Loran. As he encounters strange things, can he save the future with the past?Better than Blood Prison.

- DirectorMin-ho WooStarsLee Byung-hunCho Seung-wooBaek Yun-shikA former political henchman seeks out revenge for being dropped by a ruthless politician while a determined investigator tries to find proof of a connection between the two of them.It was okay, I like the simple twist near the end. I was slightly confused by the main character but I don't know if that was because of the editor or the writer.
- DirectorSeon-Dong YuStarsJo Eun-jiShin Eun-kyungPark Geon-ilJin-man is a smart, handsome, and overall an over-qualified house-husband. When he loses his wife's savings in an investment-gone-wrong, he decides to enter a quiz show where housewives compete to earn the money back. As Jin-man gets closer to the prize money, his family faces all sorts of challenges.Not bad, it was slightly enjoyable. There were a few laughs but I did enjoy the message of the film. I thought the family was cute until the mom freaked out.
- DirectorDon ManciniStarsAllison Dawn DoironAlex VincentBrad DourifChucky returns to terrorize his human victim, Nica. Meanwhile, the killer doll has some scores to settle with his old enemies, with the help of his former wife.Way better than Seed of Chucky. Love tthe new direction and the comedy featured. Both the kills and the comedy made this film really stand out compared to modern horror films.
- DirectorGeun-hyun ChoJo Geun-HyeonJo Geun HyunStarsJin GooHan Hye-jinBae Soo-bin26 years ago, state troops were ordered to open fire on civilians in city of Gwangju who were demonstrating as apart of a democratic movement.Really enjoyable and well directed for most of the movie. Can't wait to see more from this director.

- DirectorKim Seong-sooStarsKwon Sang-wooYoo Ji-taeSon Byung-hoHot-blooded district attorney Jin-woo and undisciplined cop Do-young want the same thing; justice. Their methods are completely different but they team up to catch and prosecute a powerful mafia boss and politician YOO.Interesting cop film, really helps showcase some problems in Korea and justice overall.
- DirectorDon ManciniStarsAllison Dawn DoironAlex VincentBrad DourifChucky returns to terrorize his human victim, Nica. Meanwhile, the killer doll has some scores to settle with his old enemies, with the help of his former wife.Better than I thought it was going to be. I enjoyed the comedy and the killing. I liked seeing a few of the same people coming back for this film. Way better than th previous releases.

- DirectorIn-je ParkStarsChoi Min-sikKwak Do-wonShim Eun-kyungFor the first time in Korean history, the mayor of Seoul attempts a third term in office.Was expecting much more than what was delivered. There are a few holes and seems jumpy to me. There wasn't a whole lot of depth.
- DirectorSang Jun ParkStarsBaek Yun-shikLee Mun-shikPark Hyo-joonDesperate for money to save his sick daughters life, a father decides to rob a bank, unluckily on the same day as a real burglar and a safe-cracker.Didn't like it, not a whole lot happened. It reminded me of a very comical/worse verison of John Q.
- DirectorJi-young BooStarsYum Jung-ahMoon Jeong-HeeKim Yeong-aeThe employees of a big-box discount retailer band together when the contract workers are summarily laid off.A decent social critique fil m, emotional at times.

Hae-Kyung (Kim Jung-Eun), now a coach for a handball team in Japan, returns to Korea to become the replacement coach for Korea's national team. In order to improve the team she asks her former teammates, including Mi-Sook, to join the national team and regain their past glory.Not bad but could have been made better. An average sports drama that has some good messages but falls flat to be truly motivational.

- DirectorJames GunnStarsChris PrattZoe SaldanaDave BautistaThe Guardians struggle to keep together as a team while dealing with their personal family issues, notably Star-Lord's encounter with his father, the ambitious celestial being Ego.It was iffy to me, the best elements of this film were baby groot and the music.
